It’s up early for Trey, Grace, Judy & Patti, Lord, so they can make the hour-long drive to the airport, fly about eight hours to Doha, Qatar and then hang out.  They have about nine hours to kill before they head back to the States.  It’s a little exciting though because Godlid is traveling with them.   She’s never been out of Tanzania before so this is a whole new experience for her.  Everyone will have a chance to get to know her and ask all the questions about Arusha and Mbuguni that are popping into their heads after time to process.  Stay close to these travelers again, Lord.  So many people in this airport, so many cultures but all created by you.  You designed each person intentionally with specific plans for their lives.  Forgive me, Father, for not always looking to you and following those plans.  Help me to keep my eyes focused on you through prayer, Bible reading and worship.  I pray this in Jesus’ name.  Amen.

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name may rejoice in you.  Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
    you surround them with your favor as with a shield.  Psalm 5:11-12
